Dear October

Just words.

                          Dear October

Hello dear October. My old friend.

Cooler day and the beauty of the change of color of the trees.

Allow us.

To slow down and ponder who we are, where we are going?

A good Spring and Summer.

I saw my old friend Big Sur in May and I danced with Lake Huron at Port Austin in July.

I lost a mentor and I took my grandchildren to his first day of school. 

Life teaches us.

Slow down and smell the roses, time won't slow down for us, if we are always running.

Ensure we make the good days last and we must mourn the people we lost.

Fall is here, the Autumn day seem easy and fair.

We are blessed to see the earth die, knowing, in the Spring.

She will come alive for us and bless the earth again.

Dear October spirit, I will go talk with you at Lake St. Clair.

I will burn some sage for a dear uncle,

I will burn some sage for my world.

I will pray we stop fighting.

I will pray every life have food and shelter. Are safe.

The leave are changing colors, Halloween is coming and cold days of Winter is coming.

Please lord of life and death.

Take care of the people I love and thank you for my many kind friends.

Life can be heavy. If you love someone. Please tell them you love and need them. They may need these words.

You greet October as a much admired friend. Wanting to slow things down because life flashes by too quickly. Your words reflect on past seasons and your losses and gains. Your wise uncle's passing, your time spent with grandchildren. I imagine you with the spirit of October, burning sage, and I thank you for the wisdom of your words Coyote. Yes, we should tell our loved ones how much we love them.

What a lovely way to greet the month. Sorry it took me so long to find it. The calendar pages flip by so quickly. When we were younger, the year dragged by. Now, it is gone in a flash. This second is the time to tell those you care about that you do. Such an emotional write, John. Lydi**
